What kind of dome camera will work with this setup? Can the included camera's be installed on ceiling or wall or just wall?

This system works with BNC (COAX) type cameras. The cameras can be installed on the wall, ceiling, counter top etc. The mount is adjustable to many angles.

The only video integration I'm aware of is via SmartThings Labs with DropCam - check it out here: http://blog.smartthings.com/news/roundups/eyes-home-dropcam/

Mine came with... Camera, wall and ceiling mounts, 60' of BNC cable, BNC to RCA adapter, PTZ wired remote control, instructions, window stickers and mounting screws. I bought two and put them under the eves at opposing front and rear corners of my house.(front right & left rear) This gives me a view that covers all of my property. They are great cameras!!!

That is the way I installed the system in our rig. You will have to use a video cable from the camera to the place you mount the transmitter and spice power to both. The camera and the transmitter comes set up to share 12 volt power and separating them will require a little wiring knowledge. I spliced my connections to the hot side of 12 volt lights at the back of trailer for the camera and the transmitter in the bedroom. I also added a switch at each locations so I could turn them off when not in use. Having a cabinet across the back ceiling I could drill though to the outside and fish the camera wiring to the mounting spot and a light under the cabinet was the power source. The video cable (get a male to female extension cable; Amazon) ran inside the cabinet to the side of the rig and toward the front. I had to use a 25' and a 12' cable to reach from camera to transmitter. I had about 3' of exposed cable at the ceiling above the entry door, the rest was inside the kitchen cabinets to the frig, where I dropped to the storage area cavity and back up to the the bedroom. I did have a little issue with the picture fading out for a while then pop back. I noticed the receiver was getting quite warm so I located it on an ac vent and for the most part that issue stopped. I bought this system to monitor atv trailer pulled behind our 5th wheel. For the money, I a pleased with how it worked for me. Picture quality is good and the night vision (though it turn my red Rezr blue, was very good. I would buy the unit again.

I have used a Mallincam Video camera and also a Canon 40D. Keep in mind you have to have the proper connections

You need to mount the camera to an electrical box. A plastic one or all weather box.

If you can use a wired system. You should. I had to add power in my soffit of house to install cameras, I am an electrician so not to hard but for the common man may be a challenge.

there are better systems out there don't buy this for your application. look into Defender systems. You can purchase weather proff dome on ebay to house cameras if need be.http://defender-usa.com/product/Defender_Phoenix_3_5_Two_Camera_Digital_Wireless_Security_Video_Monitor.eng-237.html

Mitch, the camera is as shown in the image. you can see 2 of the 3 holes in the base plate where you can mount it to anything you want. It works better if you mount it on a wall, as putting on top of something limits the 'up/down' movement of the image and will only get the left to right adjustment for the most part. hope that helps.

Hi Trub:As long as you follow the installation instructions "to the letter", I so no reason that a mix of camera's would not work. Remember to plug each item "directly" into the wall sockets. Do not, I repeat, do not plug into a surge protector or anything that shares other wires. You should be ok.RegardsHarry

Yes, it can be mounted on the ceiling but you will not be able to point it everywhere as you can if you put it on a wall. The camera will rotate and also swivels up and down but mounted on a ceiling, the base will get in the way of some directions. I would try to find a wall location if at all possible so that it can be mounted as in the photos. If that is not an option, you may want to look at one of the round cameras that are designed to be mounted on the ceiling. I just did a quick check on Amazon and there are several available. Good luck in your search.

You'll also need a PC in the room/building. The camera by itself won't work.

Correct, this camera can be placed on the ceiling looking down at the room. Yes.Thank you,Sleuth Electronics LLC

The Dome camera is not an SDI PTZ camera, is fixed and does not move. Unfortunately the pre-made cables only come in black. but we has qsvrg100 cables for high resolution cameras they comes in white. Thank You,

Any BNC camera will work with this device. This device is NOT for IP/PoE cameras.

No, the cameras can not be installed to the underside of the eve. They can only be installed on the wall. Although, that's not entirely a deal breaker as I personally mounted all of mine on the wall just under the eve. The mounting bracket allows for the cable to snake out between the wall and the bracket, and when mounted close enough to the eve, only a few inches of cable (which are not entirely visible since the camera itself is visibly in the way) are seen before it goes in to the eve. Wall mounting is typically much more solid, so the camera will not move in high winds.

It's a great little camera. You can mount it anywhere that's structurally sufficient and that you have a path to run your wires. Good luck.
